Frain has blister and thermoforming machines in stock ranging in price from $3,500 to $100,000. Depending on your product, speed and container, Frain engineering can select the best machine for your application. Blister equipment is used for a large variety of different types and sizes of products.

At Frain there are 2 ways to buy a used machine:

As-Is: We cycle and video each machine so you can see it running. We believe so soundly in our equipment that if it is not everything you thought it would be, the machine may be returned in like condition within 14 days of shipment, with freight and crating prepaid, for a full refund of the equipment price.

Customized: Frain is the largest redeployment shop in North America with thousands of successful projects completed. Your machine is inspected by some of the best technicians in the industry for worn and damaged parts. The machine is then customized specifically for your project. Finally, we provide a factory acceptance test so that you can see the machine running your product. Start up and training is also available at your facility. Customized machines come with a 6 month warranty for all replaced parts.

Pre-Owned vs. Used Machinery

Used Machinery:

Ebay - Most equipment that Frain buys from Ebay is missing components. We are able to complete the machines because of our large parts department.

Intercompany Transfers - This rarely works because the machines are not what they thought they were, have usually been cannibalized or damaged and require a lot of internal paperwork.

Used equipment Dealers - Sold on a "where is, as is" basis. There is no guarantee that the machine will even run. The machine may have received a fresh coat of paint for the picture but that is it.

Used equipment Brokers - Brokers do not own any machinery. They are just trying to broker a deal between two parties. They only know what they were told about the equipment. A lot can go wrong and usually does.

Auctions - Sold "where is, as is". No returns. If someone else wants the machine you may over pay.

Internet Auctions - Unless you are prepared to spend a lot of time and resources reconditioning this equipment you will never get it into production.

Pre Owned Machinery:

Complete Descriptions & Photos - Know everything about the machine. Its capabilities, condition and history.

Through Inspections - At Frain our expert technicians spend an average of 34 hours on every machine cleaning, inspecting, and replacing missing or broken parts.

See it running before you buy - Frain puts every machine to power and videos it cycling and if possible running product.

Customized for your product - Frain's technicians can easily spend over 465 hours setting up a machine for a specific application and this is all they do.
